The Replacement

It was –34’c this morning when I took this picture, the cracks on the ice have really opened up in the cold.

I finally have all 100 block completed for my Just Takes Two Mystery Project!!! I decided to pitch the instructions for the hand pieced block and make one that I would enjoy….a Celtic knot block! I love doing Celtic appliqué, it was the perfect way to personalize this quilt. I was going to machine appliqué it but then changed my mind hand appliquéd the bias strips down and am very happy with the results. I’ll even share a close up of my stitches :) I found this very relaxing to do.

Our guild’s Christmas party is next week and I volunteered to take care of our silent auction. We have had some beautiful hand made items donated to the auction this year and I also wanted to add a few pre-cut fabrics into the mix. Here is a teaser for my guild members of some of the fabrics I purchase with the guilds money! These were all purchase on Black Friday sales so the guild will definitely make money on these items.

You certainly are multi-talented! Those are beautiful applique stitches. And what a great idea to have an auction at your Christmas party! Am definitely going to pass that along to the members of the local guild. It is in a rebuilding stage and always looking for fresh new ideas that are fun and also raise some funds for workshops. Thanks!

About Me

I have been quilting for over 20 years and have turned my passion for quilting into a home business. Tamarack Shack Longarm Quilting opened it's doors January 2009 on the shores of Schist Lake in Northern Manitoba. I have recently moved to Emo, ON and looking forward to discovering all the beauty of the area and meeting new quilters.
This blog is where I share photos of my quilts as well as my clients quilts. I also enjoy dyeing fabric especially snow dyeing as we have snow 6 months of the year. I have thrown in few personal stories about living on the shores of Schist Lake and now I'm ready to explore and share photos of the area around Emo, Ontario as life isn't all about quilting.
